Since you are a strong supporter of Governor Larry Hogan, I’m writing to you with an important update on the state of the Maryland Senate race.
We have less than three and a half months until Election Day, and while that may seem like a long time, it will be here in the blink of an eye. We are entering the busiest, most competitive, and most demanding period of this race yet.
Thanks to grassroots support, we’ve already seen an encouraging sign that more Marylanders are hearing Governor Hogan’s message and joining his movement.
In fact, the most recent poll shows Gov. Hogan is ahead of his opponent 47% to 41%!
This has only been possible because people like you have stepped up to fund our efforts.
If you’re a Marylander, you know the incredible impact Gov. Hogan has had on our state.
You know he doesn’t put up with bickering and division.
He doesn’t play games. He gets to work and he gets things done.
Whether it’s cutting taxes, standing up for small businesses, or tackling rising crime—Gov. Hogan fights for what’s right.
I think we can all agree that we need more action and less talking from our nation’s leaders.
We need someone who will go to Washington and go the extra mile to work with anyone and everyone who is willing to fight for what’s best for Maryland.
We have that in Gov. Hogan. But getting this message out across the state is expensive.
It takes critical resources to fill up the tank on the bus so he can travel the state to meet with voters. Placing ads in Maryland to amplify his message on the airwaves is costly. And even the basics like buying coffee, donuts, and pizza for volunteers quickly adds up.
But each of these pieces are key parts of the puzzle.
We’ve already seen incredible progress since day one, and stopping now is not an option. That’s why fully funding every day from now until Election Day is crucial. And, your support makes that happen.
Like Gov. Hogan, I’m proud of the progress we’ve made together so far.
But we’re still locked in a competitive race, and this is undoubtedly still an uphill battle to elect Gov. Hogan to the Senate.
Your support is critical. Grassroots support has enabled us to get so far–from winning the primary to gaining in the polls–and it will be the only way Gov. Hogan will win this Senate race.
Together, we are fighting for the future of Maryland and America. One without the partisanship, divisiveness, and dysfunction we see in Washington today.
Thank you,
David

Hogan for Maryland
When I launched my campaign for the U.S. Senate, I did so with a deep resolve to maintain the leadership style and principles that guided me during my eight years as governor.
Fifty years ago, my father, Maryland Congressman Larry Hogan Sr. made a tough decision. He became the first Republican to come out for the impeachment of President Nixon. He put aside party politics and his own personal considerations and stepped up to do the right thing for Maryland and the nation.
Today, Washington is completely broken because that kind of leadership and willingness to put country over party has become far too rare. But it’s not in my nature to sit back and watch the dysfunction continue without doing what I can to roll up my sleeves and get to work.
I’m under no illusion this will be an easy road. But I’m no stranger to uphill battles, and I know I can’t do it without your support.
I don't aspire to be a United States senator. I don’t need a title and I don’t need a job, but I’m more concerned than ever about the direction of the country and I have become more convinced that I can make a difference by taking the approach and style of leadership I had during my eight years as governor to Washington.
It’s no surprise this mindset has made me a target of the Washington partisans. Despite early polls showing a lead, I know I’m the underdog in this race. And that’s why your support TODAY is so crucial.
For eight years, we proved that the toxic politics that divide our nation didn’t need to divide our state, and we got results! Let’s get back to work again and send a message to Washington that will be heard loud and clear across the country!
